Aircraft Rapid Decompression Problems
Without question, the rapid decompression of the Qantas Boeing 747 that landed in Manila on July 25 was bizarre. Fortunately, large gashes do not often appear in passenger jets. When they do, they tend to happen where there is structural strain (like at door hatches), not in the forward cargo compartment, as in this case with Qantas. The cause of the accident remains a mystery, and the U. S. is sending a team from the National Transportation Safety Board to assist in the investigation in the Philippines.
But rapid decompressions, in general, are not unheard of—and, as the passengers from the Qantas plane now know, not necessarily as apocalyptic as they seem at the time.
What happens when your plane suddenly depressurizes? Any dramatic loss of pressure caused by the sudden surge of outside air into the cabin—feels like you are going up a skyscraper in an elevator powered by a rocket. Your ears pop, and the pain can be intense. You may experience some temporary hearing problems, but nothing too serious in most cases.
At the same time, the plane will likely drop in altitude quite dramatically. But this sensation is actually good news, says Todd Curtis, an engineer and former airline safety analyst at Boeing. It usually means that the pilots are trying to get the plane low enough so that the outside air is breathable for humans. Says Curtis, "It may seem like the aircraft is going through a radical maneuver, and it is radical compared to normal flying, but this is standard protocol."
Meanwhile, the oxygen masks will probably drop from the ceiling. This, too, may look exceedingly ominous. But you won’t die if you don’t get a mask on, provided you were already generally healthy. "Passing out is about the worst thing that would happen," Curtis says. There are only about 10 to 15 minutes of oxygen on those masks anyway, and they are provided just to help keep you comfortable until the plane reaches a lower altitude, where you can breathe easily and without assistance. The most important thing is that the pilots get their masks on first-and they have been trained to do this much faster than you will get yours on. It is best to put your mask on before helping anyone else, since you only have a matter of seconds before you may lose consciousness.
As if there weren’t enough going on, it is also quite common to see what looks like smoke in the air. But this is actually fog or mist that comes from the sudden change in pressure.
The flight can continue on in this surreal fashion for a while and passengers will usually remain relatively calm, as evidenced by video taken inside the Qantas flight. Decompression may be scary, but it is survivable.
According to Curtis,______.
选项
A、the feeling of dropping dramatically is not good
B、the radical maneuver of piane is normal
C、the radical maneuver of plane is standard protocol
D、you may die if you don’t get the mask on
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。文章中有两处提到了Curtis的言论,分别是在第四段和第五段。第四段第二句提到Curtis觉得飞机大幅下降的感觉并不坏,可排除[A].最后一句可知,飞机大幅下降的调整与正常飞行相比比较剧烈,因此这种调整并非是正常飞行状态,排除[B];最后一句可知,虽然这种飞行调整比较剧烈,它仍然是标准程序,[C]正确;文中第五段中Curtis认为即使没有戴上面罩,最糟糕的情况也不过是昏厥,而不是死亡,所以[D]也不正确。
